I'm a writer, editor, speaker & coach— and Lord knows (because God is the only one who could know) how I got to be any of these (I sure don't).

I'm genuinely proud of being the author/editor of more than 25 books and audio programs and over four-million copies of same sold. I authored The Greatest Networker in the World, which is one of the best-selling network marketing titles with over one million around the world and somewhere close to 3 million readers. (I also did a "ghost-write" on another million-seller.) I've been blessed to positively impact a lot of people's lives.

I've got a BFA in Photography from the Philadelphia College of Art and have been a carpenter, laborer, salesman, photographer, Director of Marketing for a Natural/Health Food company, marketing consultant, copy and "ghost" writer, coach, Editor-in-Chief (four-times), Chairman of the Board— a whole bunch of working-world stuff.

"Mistakes, I've had a few,
But then again, too…" many to mention 8^)

My speaking has taken me all around America and to Australia, Canada, China (Taiwan), Costa Rica, Crete, Dubai, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Russia (Moscow, Kazan and Samara), Singapore and Kiev in the Ukraine. Katyusha and I (and Ele and Anais) were back to Moscow in '06. (Want to know how to breeze through customs and immigration? Take Anais with you. She'll charm each and every one of them and they all smile and go stamp… stamp… stamp… stamp on all your papers. What a joy!)

I founded Upline® and Network Marketing Lifestyles. I'm the founder of The GreatestNetworker.com (Web 2.0 back in 2000), created the Upline Master's Weekends, was a Contributing Editor for Success magazine, Founding Editor-in-Chief for Networking Times and was one of the founders of The Network Marketing Magazine.com. I put together the book It's Time… for Network Marketing— the most remarkable form of free enterprise ever created, started TheFoggBlogg, created The MasterMind Sessions and BeliefBusters and Speaking & Listening and Coaching For MLM Leaders and my latest (greatest) "A Weekend With The Greatest Networker in the World," TGNWeekend where I invite five people to my home for a life-changing, transformational experience.

Virginia IS for Lovers and to prove it, we two are the proud parents of Eleonora Milena (age 7 and bit more) and Anais Polina (age 3 years+) Fogg. Both are two-thirds Russian and English is Ele's second language:-).

Here's a slide show of "the girls" (with a few pics of my son and me) from my profile page at MySpace.com:

Just for fun, and to prove I wanted a dynamic Life: The week of April 29.02; I was divorced on Monday; married on Tuesday; took Wednesday off; and Ele' was born Thursday. . . Anais was born on March 26.06. It was a much quieter week.

My son Johnny (24 now) did under and over-graduate work at "My University" (is there such a thing as home-school college?). After high school he traveled to Italy, attended The Photography Workshops in Rockland, Maine, worked at a tea house and helped me building a couple of my websites: BeliefBusters.com, SpeakingAndListening.com, WeAllNeed ACoach.com and the last one was a father-and-son project aGreatQuestion, a daily thoughtful, inspirational video on YouTube.

Johnny created a remarkable "traveling community art exhibit" you can learn about here: The Mother:Father Project. I begged (and literally paid. . . ) him not to go to college until he was really passionate about studying something important to him. And that's what he's done. He's now in Kyoto, Japan studying "The Way of Tea." I Love It! He took a cross-the-US motorcycle trip before he left for Japan. The picture above is the father 38 years ago, not the son today.

Rachel (28 this February 24) graduated top of her class in the Virginia School of Massage, yet worked mostly as a bar-tender, "cause "the money's much better." She IS the funniest woman I have ever known. I didn't see Rachel often enough when she lived in C'ville, and now she's moved to Hawaii with her partner and love Kt. . . I call my two oldest chidren the "Far Aways."

My children are all extraordinary people! Bright, funny, wise and talented. What I enjoy most about them—and am most proud of—is how much I like them all as human beings. The older ones are each intelligent, authentic and unique individuals. Even if they weren't "my kids," I'd want to know them and be with them for who and how they are. Love AND Like. Amazing!

Where do you live?
Charlottesville is mas o menos in the center of the state snuggled up against the Blue Ridge Mountains. It's a college town. The University of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson's pride and joy, is here. About 19,500 grads and unders come and go with Charlottesville's 49,000 plus population. Every time I go someplace else wondering if I'd like to live there—with perhaps the exception of Hawaii and Maine (both great to visit, and…)—I come back to C'ville and I know I am home! I dearly Love this place.

I'm a card-carrying Capricorn, so "mi casa, mi castillo." I've also been blessed with The Greatest House "karma" in the World, which has enabled me to live in a succession of most special places over the years. The house we're in now is more and better than all the others.

It's our Dream home called by me "Miracle House." Can you imagine buying a house worth $1,000,000-plus with no money? We did. The Russian magic of Katyusha.

An eccletic mix of "stuff": Tribal rugs—some are old souls; orchids and fresh flowers from the gardens; a model of the Wavertree-a three masted 1885's iron ship my grandfather sailed on as an apprentice seaman—in its case atop a 1730's Captain's footlocker; an original 50's butterfly chair. . . "treasures and pleasures" indeed.

Still being an "artist," I put found objects—like rocks, driftwood (especially), vacated turtle shells and natural treasures directly onto our white walls. (Everywhere I visit in my travels I bring back rocks and natural things. So much more precious than tourista stuff. . . and cheaper, too.)

I don't like cages for birds. . . locking up a creature born to fly is not a good thing. Frames do the same for me sometimes; they limit the partnership (I just noticed the word "art" in partnership. Cool.) of form and space. So, I got rid of them. I just stick things on the wall itself. The dance of how the objects play with each other—a dried twisting kelp stalk, above a goat's horn with a turtle shell underneath arranged vertically up a wall—and the visual sharps and flats of form and space are utterly fascinating to me. . .

And please, come visit. That's no kidding. There's nothing we like and love better than to spend some time out on the deck or in front of the fire with network marketers. As I've said before, You are The Greatest People in the World.

Pets? One cat left (. . . over from Rachel. Katyusha is not a cat person, even though she has their eys), Miltosh (formerly Milton, but I can't call him that. . . who talks! I swear). And then there is Raegay, The Greatest Dog in the World a "schnoodle," some combine of schnauzer and poodle. He is the most remarkable four-legged person I've ever known.

That's enough. As said, probably more than you wanted to know. . .

If you've a heart and mind to, get in touch.

Doing work that Informs, Involves and Inspires. . .and makes lots of money.

What a magnificent Sunday (just) after-noon. Both warm and cool. River Birch leaves dancing, gentle breezes swimming through the Juniperus Virginiana red cedars. Gah, I love this place. . . the peaceful-powerful feel & beauty of this place that's so energizing & inspiring. . . our place called "Miracle House."

What a story this was. . . and is. Let go, let God. Trust and Faith. Honestly believing in and fully BeLoving Miracles. Appreciating ("Thank you God") & Allowing & Receiving. It really is all and always perfect— and all so very good. And so very, very good to be home.

This trip was a push, but we all had a great time.

Across to Lithuania and the long-awaited re-unite for Katyusha & the girls with Nina & Slava, Asya & Artur and Nele & Sonia (and some much needed dental work with "Dyadya" Dima.) Then Katyush and I went on to the Ukrane for 10 days. . . two weekend speakings and a couple of one-nighters in-between. Great stuff! Led with BeLove It! and "The Awesome Power of Beliefs." Some Speaking & Listening and "The Right Questions," too. Best talks I've ever done. Man, people were flying. Break-throughs all over as we literally wiped-out beliefs that had been stopping and limiting them for decades in less than an hour. Amazing!

And $50,000 for 10 days work. . . It may get better than that, but that’ll do nicely for now thank you (God).

Stopped in Paris (for the first time) on the way back for a long weekend. What a joy. I didn't think I'd like it— heck, love it— as much as I did. What a thrill and so good (in so many ways) that we had Ele & Anais with us. Everybody, even the waiters, were nice to us, because of the girls. They charmed everybody. And Katyusha was in heaven. It was very special

It's always hard leaving this remarkable home of ours. Of course, we all love the travel & adventure, but honestly. . . if I never went away again that would be fine with me. I love (BeLove) my "Miracle House," my Capricorn's castle, an "estate" in all the myriad meanings of the word. It IS my favorite place to be in the whole world and I am "sincerious" when I say, "Mi casa, su casa." Please.

Today, we're gathered 'round the teak table on paisley cushioned arm chairs sitting on the brick patio with it's dusting of green algae and moss. Orchids & fresh flowers surrounding. Scattering sunlight. A full-blown brunch with friends; Randolph and (pregnant, Yes!) Katherine, Ele and The Little One darting and dancing around— Christy & Mark are stopping by later and my mom is here, too. . . Full of light and delight, rich relaxed fun. The perfect Vve Forny Rosé. Laughter and learning; occasionally pithy— mostly profound. Dangling & entangling conversations. What warm, relaxed fun. I couldn't be happier. I BeLove It!

Jekaterina is radiant. The food rich and resplendent: A Russian "bird's nest" salad with real Lithuanian black bread, Chef Byrd's tortilla crusted wild salmon, shaving the Tete de Moine. . .

And the "Miracle House"— this gracious gray and green home of ours that embraces us and all our friends— vibrating with the abundant, loving, encouraging, powerful, peaceful, prosperous energy of Health & Wealth & Joy. . . Love & appreciation. Inside and out this place and property literally reaches all around you seducing and surrounding you with it's growing energy. . . holding you, hugging you (heart-over-heart) like a lover and a friend. This is such a blessing. We own it and clearly. . . IT owns us. "Miracle House" indeed.

The Mercedes looks perfect in the driveway— dark gray just like Miltosha the cat. It's almost like they're both part of the house.

The grounds are simply stunning with all the different trees and shrubs: Fig and Mahonia, Forsythia, Iris and wild Violets. . . and rolling, sloping green lawns and fields all neatly and completely cared for by me and my "personal trainers." It's a veritable & virtual "arboretum" (Uncle Jack would be proud). And the amazing garden with it's seven 6-foot high blueberry bushes, bounty of vegetables (including "deer-proof" pumpkins, Anais' crisp little Russian cucumbers, Ele's squash, all manner of luscious tomatoes, a forest of basil for pesto, healing herbs and more) and bosquets and bouquets of flowers. . . The entire property is a pure inspiration of sights and smells and feelings of being appreciation, love and beauty.

I am an infinitely powerful spiritual being connected directed directly to the Source of all ALL THAT IS. Thank you God. I love you. Blessings.

And Oh Mama, I do so belove being in the best shape of my life: 145ish pounds of tanned, toned and "tailored" body. Free of tension & stress, aches & pains (not including the celebrated soreness of hard yard-work). Healthy great looking teeth, nails, hair, skin. . . and living "Breakfast for a king, lunch for a prince and dinner for a pauper" sans snacking after 7:00 pm and "I will drink no wine before it's time" were both huge for me! (I am thrilled & I am so proud.)

It's all good. Yes, getting "old" is a good thing. Being 61— what fun! I've never looked and felt better. More and more, "Thank you Gods" each & every day.

And the Girls— Katyusha, Ele and Anais and the "far aways," big sister Rachel in Hawaii and Johnny in Japan. . . My wife and children are my greatest joy— I love them fully, deeply and completely. They're each so special and I'm so proud of every one of them. Spending more & more time with Katyusha, Ele & "The Little One," I'm absolutely loving that!

They are my greatest gifts. They are the ones who showed me how to love and be loved— taught me appreciating and receiving. Helped me to live BeLove It! Thanking them and (again) "Thanking you God."

And "Thank you" for so much more. . . the return of the millions and miracles (of course, the miracles were always and in all ways here— and really, the millions were, too 8^). Thank you God for "blessing" me with the motivation to pull that much needed 180 of Transformation! I appreciate you.

Why? Because I deserve it! That's why!

"Be led by your Passion & Purpose," Art reminded and I remembered. Do what you LOVE. BeLove It! (Dear) God I love to learn. . . & write. . . & teach. . . & mentor-coach. . . & speak. . . and learn & write & teach & coach & speak some more. THIS is all my life's work (and play).

The Weekends With The Greatest Networker. . . and ONEonONE Coaching are THE most passionate & purposeful & empowering & fulfilling thing of all for me! "You at your best," Brooke told me and I agree. People Breaking-Through! Transforming, changing their lives & work "for the better, forever." Do what you love and the money will follow— and follow it has! Amazing!

The Awesome Power of Beliefs and sales of the BeliefBusters and The InnerCircle Coaching Program are. . . well. . . Awesome! (as they should be 8^)

BeLove It! is climbing all the important best-selling lists and that's leading to more and more speaking gigs around the world (Moscow & the Ukraine most recently). BeLove It! What a fabulous idea!

The Greatest Networker in the World... TGNWeekend and GET RICH SLOW… ONEonONE Mentor-Coaching… It's Time... for Network Marketing... Creating Millions of Network Marketing Thousandaires… BeliefBusters… BeLove It! It's all so very, very, very good.

Thank you God! I love you! Blessings!

My vision is (always) a work in progress. Transformation. Re-invention. MP3- My Pleasure, Passion & Purpose in everything I do and then Nike! Just Do It!
